...kitchen word: no more dropped eggs, lumps in the sauce or uncarvable suckling pigs. Dinner has a slick new format, a grant of about $1 million from Polaroid, one of her previous underwriters, and, of course, mouth-watering color. Instead of concentrating on the making of a single dish, each 30-minute segment will include the preparation of a dinner for ten, an interview with a master chef and a winemaker, a "gathering" sequence in which Julia seeks out her raw materials at their source, be it a crab boat or cheesemaker, and shots of the actual cocktail party...

As colleagues and reporters clustered around him inside the observatory's control room, Harvard Physicist Paul Horowitz tapped a few keys on a computer terminal. A minute or so later, a jumble of jagged lines flickered onto a video monitor. They represented the random squawks and beeps of the universe that had just...
...DOUBT about it," some might prognosticate gloomily, shaking their Maine hunting caps. "OI' Burt Reynolds sure become some kind of quiche-eater." To confirm these rock-ribbed fears that the erstwhile Gator's preference has turned to that metaphorical dish, they might very well point to the scene in Best Friends where, with a pout and an arched eyebrow. Burt grumbles to Goldie Hawn: "I hate grits." It is, it seems, a final, symbolic denial of his celluloid past...
